Simon Williams joins Radius as managing director of its Kinesis telematics brand

Williams joins Radius after spending the last three years building and running a successful telematics business and a further 15 years of telecommunications experience.

In his new role, he will oversee the expansion of the telematics business, including the Kinesis solution, into new markets and to further develop strong relationships with strategic partners.

Williams said: “What drew me to Radius is its dynamic leadership team and the energy and vision of CEO and founder, Bill Holmes. I’m looking forward to building on the telematics business’s current level of success and profitability, expanding the customer base globally.”

“Within three to five years we aim to be a global leader in telematics.  We have exciting plans for growth, which include new product development and strategic acquisitions and I’m eager to get started.”

His appointment forms the latest in a series of investment and expansion plans for parent-company Radius following the opening of its new technology centre in Manchester and expansion into Southeast Asia earlier this year.

Bill Holmes, CEO and founder of Radius, said: “Simon’s experience will help our next phase of growth both nationally and internationally. It’s exciting for our telematics business to have someone of his calibre on board and we’re confident his work will contribute to the continued growth and success of the business.”
